    Advanced Tutoring in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics

    Having conducted international-level experimental and theoretical scientific research for many years (PhD University of Cambridge, National Physical Laboratory, Max-Planck Institute, KUL, and UCL) I offer tailored and adaptive tutoring in mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

    My main focus is in helping those pupils in their final two years of school who are preparing for university. I also specialize in preparing students for the Belgian medical entrance exam by actually solving the problems of all the past entrance exams and providing tips and insight for rapidly homing in on the correct answers.

    My philosophy is that science and mathematics can be related to each person's everyday experience. I try to provide insight and solid foundations so that students will not have to rely heavily on blindly memorizing large sections of their courses.

    About Me

    I'm passionately curious about the world and how it works; I can find interest in just about any subject. My current academic pursuits are in the areas of the philosophy of ideas, zeroth-order logic, molecular genetics, and computer programming; including artificial intelligence.
    Besides academic interests, I enjoy sports of all kinds. I currently play ice hockey in the Belgian national league. I'm also a keen photographer. I only use film and I develop and print my images purely by the 'traditional' method of using a cocktail of chemicals in a darkroom.

    I believe that knowledge is built from basics and deep understanding of concepts with practicality. Any concept learnt with practical application is more important than theoretical knowledge and worth in the long term. With this in mind you can expect me to deliver information in a simple and effective manner for better understanding.

    Flavian
    Mathematics Tutoring - High school / University level
    As a student in a Master's degree in Mathematics, I offer help in the deep understanding of various subjects. I believe that intuition is the most important tool in mathematics and its development deserves our full attention. Whether it's in the math fundamentals we face in high school or the abstract tools we encounter in university, it's always possible to find that magical moment where everything seems so obvious. It is the so called "stupid questions" that are the most important.

    Vasil
    Mathematics Tutoring for Elementary and High School students
    Currently I am doing my Masters in Semiconductors and Microelectronics, and I have already obtained a MS in General Physics from Universite Paris-Saclay. During my high-school I was an Olympiad math competitor and I was regularly representing my country in international competitions. I studied at a specialized math school, and I am very used to giving lectures and math classes. I have taught at an elementary school, and my approach to teaching is giving time to my students to work through problems, discussing with them how to tackle them, and generally instilling courage and confidence in their abilities. Too many times I have seen children which are good at thinking, but feel intimated by math, mainly due to the formal nature in which it is taught in high school. I try to break that by giving analogies when explaining concepts and supporting students while they solve problems, instead of showing them solutions and teaching them rote methods. I love to work with both advanced students, to whom I give more advanced problems, challenging them but also guiding them, and with students who are struggling, because I believe they are indeed capable, but maybe missing confidence, or have been scared from the subject through experience. I come from a family of teachers - my grandmother is a Math teacher (still working at the age of 77!), and my mother is an English teacher. Thus, one could say that teaching is part of my family. ;)

    Physics (ASO 2nd and 3rd degree) - help with the medicine entrance test!
    Hey! Are you experiencing problems in preparing for the medical entrance exam? No problem, I am happy to help you with both the scientific and practical parts! As a first-year medical student, I am still close to last year's entrance test and I can make a good assessment of what can and cannot be known.

    Arnaud
    Private lessons in chemistry - math - physics - bio
    Graduated in Chemistry at the Free University of Brussels, I offer teaching accessible to all and help in preparing questions or exams. (or simple upgrade) Sciences are often hard to assimilate because of their sometimes abstract nature or because of the enormous amount of information to remember. My goal is to help the student progress at their own pace through a real understanding of the material. What's the point of remembering if you don't understand. I check whether the material has been assimilated from one lesson to the next and I can provide additional exercises if necessary.

    NICK: Mathematics and Physics tutoring for secondary and primary education (also at home). Master HIR KUL
    Mathematics and Physics tutoring for secondary and primary education (also at home). Master Commercial Engineer KUL with a Science-Mathematics-8 and Civil Engineering background. ABOUT THIS LESSON: I offer tutoring in Python programming and mathematics for university and college students. I also support secondary school and primary school students in all scientific subjects. I start by (if available) using your old tests to determine together with you (and possibly your parents) what specific difficulties you have. In addition, we will have a short conversation in which you can explain to me which issues you have experienced as the most difficult and would like to focus more on. My focus is on ensuring that the student is able to find the solution independently, step by step, and I help where necessary by providing mini-tips to get to the next step together. This makes my method much more personalized than standard classroom teaching. When I notice that a student has difficulty independently coming up with the correct editing steps, I create a concise step-by-step plan tailored to that specific subject so that the student begins to see more structure in the learning material. At the same time, I ensure that the underlying theory is thoroughly understood by linking it to self-invented exercises and practical examples from the student's personal environment, which makes learning easier and more lasting. ABOUT NICK: I am a 22-year-old master's student in Commercial Engineering at KU Leuven. I started tutoring my sister, nephews, nieces and friends and I get a lot of satisfaction from improving and helping others when they come to me for help. Because I have been tutoring consistently for 4 years, I have the right resources to present learning material in an understandable way and to strengthen the motivation, concentration and independent study of my students. In addition, I have a lot of experience with children and didactic teaching techniques from my tennis initiator diploma. Ranging from first to sixth secondary school, from 2 hours to 6 hours of mathematics per week and everything in between, I have guided students of all directions and levels, with a successful outcome every time. I don't give up until I'm sure a student understands the material well enough and I see them making progress. By always appearing enthusiastic, I ensure that together we do not let the drudgery of difficult subjects get any further than the school desks. I am flexible in making appointments and am open to every student. This can be done at a fixed time every week or lesson by lesson. I provide tutoring at your home (I can travel by car), at my home (Kampenhout), in my student room (Leuven) or online. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss the practical matters in more depth immediately. Together we can draw up a plan and work lesson by lesson to achieve your personal academic goals or those of your child.

    Private lessons in maths and physics. Secondary and university level.
    University professor for 18 years and doctor of applied sciences, I also give private lessons to higher education students and secondary school students. I adapt to the request and level of each student. I can follow the school/university program or push beyond. I favor classical education: 1) understanding of the subject and its importance in the field of study or in everyday life 2) illustration by examples 3) exercises allowing to assimilate well and finally to master the subject I attach great importance to understanding and logical reasoning. I progress with the student by also having him work outside contact hours if he wishes.

    François
    Tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics and French region of Leuven (secondary)
    I am a student of TEW at the KULeuven and would like to offer my services to high school students who could use some help outside of school hours. Together with my students, I look for the right study approach to fully understand the courses and I try to present the subject matter in a different way so that my students gain more insight into the subject matter. I myself graduated from the Sint-Albertuscollege in Haasrode with a degree in science mathematics (6 hours) and I was raised perfectly bilingual (Dutch-French). I have several years of experience with tutoring, both to children in the 2nd year of high school and to children who are at the end of their high school and will soon be making the transition to further studies. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or are interested.
